2.6.3.2. Portal Config

PortalConfig defines the portal name, permission, layout and some properties of a site. These information are configured in the portal.xml, group.xml or user.xml, depending on the site type. The PortalConfig importer performs a strategy that is based on the mode defined in NewPortalConfigListener, including CONSERVE, INSERT, MERGE or OVERWRITE. Let's see how the import mode affects in the process of portal data performance:

CONSERVE: There is nothing to be imported. The existing data will be kept without any changes.
INSERT: When the portal config does not exist, create the new portal defined by the portal config definition. Otherwise, do nothing.
MERGE and OVERWRITE have the same behavior. The new portal config will be created if it does not exist or update portal properties defined by the portal config definition.
